Previously devtools used a nested workspace for its bazel configurations. This meant framework dependencies were consumed via npm.
Now devtools is part of the root bazel directory that all other files in this codebase fall under. This allows us to build devtools using local angular packages, removing the need to consume these dependencies with npn. This is useful because we no longer have to update these dependencies with an automated tool like renovate, and our CI tests will always run against the most up to date framework packages.
Formats the entire devtools directory with the ng-dev formatting tool. Previously we relied on prettier, so this commit also remove prettier from devtools' dependencies.
Previously, we were using ngx-build-plus with a custom webpack config to determine the git SHA at runtime.
Now, after migrating to bazel and transfering to angular/angular, this commit uses ng-dev to stamp the latest git SHA directly in angular devtools' application environment.
This commit also removes the old webpack configs.
Some tooling was brought in from angular/components to help with bundling spec files for Karma. This tooling has since been ported over to the dev-infra repo. This commit dedupes the tooling and instead depends on the angular/dev-infra-private repo.
Previously we were running Cypress with bazel in an effort to save on CI time when devtools dependencies did not change. This commit reverts to running Cypress manually, until we can revisit building devtools with local Angular packages to save CI time.
